Burger Law is more aggressive than most Chicago truck accident law firms in litigating cases and filing lawsuits. We put insurance companies on their heels and stand up to the bullies that do not want to take responsibility for their actions and pay you what you are owed. Truck accident law firms need to relate to the injured in Chicago, care about their cases and fight until there is nothing left to fight and their clients get the maximum compensation they deserve. Many of them say they will, but too few actually do. Some may keep you in the dark and not give you the information you need to make the best decision for you and your family in Chicago. Burger Law has the results to prove that we know how to win cases. To date, we have secured over $175 million for our clients in verdicts and settlements, much of that coming from truck accident cases.
You do not need to go through this process alone, or spend any more time investigating truck accident law firms in Chicago. Call Burger Law immediately at (866) 935-4153 or fill out our online form so our Chicago truck accident lawyers can begin fighting for you today.

Unfortunately, truck accident law firms in Chicago and Illinois tend to be pretty busy. As of 2020, there were over 70,000 licensed truck drivers in Illinois according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, making it one of the top 15 trucking states in the nation. In 2020 there were 9,966 truck crashes that involved injury or death in the state, according to the 2020 Illinois Crash Facts and Statistics report.
If you have been injured in a truck crash because of somebody else’s careless actions, call a Chicago-based Illinois trucking accidents lawyer at Burger Law today to discuss your legal options.
Chicago truck accident law firms need to be well-versed in Illinois law to know who is liable in a truck accident. At Burger Law, we have the experience and knowledge necessary to determine and prove negligence and hold liable parties accountable. Some of the parties truck accident law firms investigate in Chicago and Illinois include a truck driver, another driver, a trucking company, a shipping company, a manufacturer or a mechanic.
In its landmark large truck crash causation study, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found that “driver reasons” accounted for the main cause in 87 percent of trucking accidents nationwide. If a Chicago or Illinois truck driver’s negligent or reckless driving causes you injury, truck accident law firms will look to hold them responsible. Examples of driver error include:
Truck drivers speed and drink and drive far less than other motorists; however, there will unfortunately always be Chicago or Illinois truck drivers out there that break the rules of the road and disregard your well-being. When they do, the repercussions can be disastrous. If a negligent Illinois truck driver caused you injuries, the Burger Law truck accidents lawyer team in Chicago will hold them accountable and ensure you collect the best possible financial recovery.
However, the Large Crash Causation Study found that most driver-caused truck crashes were caused because of errors by a passenger car driver, not the truck driver. The best truck accident law firms, such as Burger Law, will conduct a thorough investigation into your claim and see if another Chicago driver was responsible for your injuries.
Trucking companies also have an obligation to look out for our safety. They must:
Chicago truck accident law firms should request maintenance and driver logs when handling a truck accident case. Burger Law knows how to get all the evidence we need to prove your case.
Cargo must be properly loaded onto trucks in order to ensure safety. Overloaded trucks or trucks with unequal weight distribution are prone to rollover accidents. Improperly loaded cargo can also spill onto Chicago or Illinois streets and cause a multi-vehicle collision. Overweight trucks also have increased stopping times which limits the driver’s ability to respond to conditions or hazards on the road.
Manufacturers have an obligation to safely design and test their products and recall any components when they find it to be dangerous or defective. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that a recall is necessary when a vehicle or vehicle equipment “does not comply with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.” Failure to do so is product liability. Burger Law has seen every type of personal injury case and knows how to win you maximum compensation regardless of the circumstances of your truck crash injury.

Client Reviews
Year of 2023 
This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!

Genevieve and Laura have assisted me in my personal injury claim and have made the process so much less stressful. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Laura is always on top of everything and very sweet. I had no idea how to navigate this process and they have made me feel at ease and like they truly cared about the outcome.
It has been a long 4 years, but it is finally over! Burger law did a great job handling my case. Grant Doty answered all my questions, promptly returned my phone calls, frequently kept me updated and insured me that he was fighting for me. Jennifer Zini also did a wonderful job, great customer service. It was pleasure getting to know the Burger Law team!
After a driver unexpectedly pulled out right in front of my motorcycle & I suffered injuries, the at-fault driver’s insurance company offered me a $10,000 settlement. I hired Burger Law & they won a $109,000 settlement. I was very happy with the outcome. They were easy to work with & fully explained each step of the process & kept me informed along the way.
